An easy Kashmiri recipe from ” Curry Easy” by Madhur Jaffrey
Ingredients
- 560 g boneless lamb preferably from the shoulder, cut into 2.5–4-cm cubes
- 250 ml full-fat yoghurt preferably Greek or ‘bio’, lightly beaten with a fork until smooth
- 11/2 tsp garam masala preferably home-made
- 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 10 cardamom pods
- 1/4 tsp peppercorns
- 1/2 tsp saffron threads crumbled
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tbsp sultanas
- 20 whole almonds preferably skinned
Servings:
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients except the almonds in a non-reactive (ceramic, glass or stainless steel) bowl. Prick the meat with the tip of a knife so that the marinade can penetrate well. Mix thoroughly, cover and refrigerate overnight, or up to 24 hours.
- Put the almonds in a heatproof bowl. Pour over enough boiling water to cover them and leave to soak overnight, or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 160ºC/gas mark 3.Lift the almonds out of their soaking liquid and peel them if they are not already skinned. Combine the meat, its marinade and the almonds in a flameproof pan.
- Bring to a low simmer over a medium–low heat, stirring all the time so that the yoghurt does not curdle. Turn off the heat. Cover the pan first with foil, crimping it tightly, and then with its lid.
- Place in the oven for 60–75 minutes, testing after an hour to see if the meat is tender; if not, return to the oven for 15 minutes.
